Olympic Skier Mikaela Shiffrin Announces Engagement to Aleksander Kilde

Olympic alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin announced her engagement to fellow skier and longtime boyfriend Aleksander Kilde on Friday.

The couple announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post that contained a series of images, including Shiffrin wearing her engagement ring.

Shiffrin and Kilde have been together for just over three years after first meeting one another at a ski camp. Shiffrin is arguably the greatest ski race competitor of all-time, winning two Olympic gold medals and owning the most World Cup wins of any male or female in the sport.

She had been sidelined for several weeks due to a knee injury that she sustained in a downhill crash in Cortina, Italy.

Kilde is also an Olympic medalist, taking home one bronze and one silver medal in 2022. However, he's currently recovering from a crash that required emergency surgery. He tore ligaments, dislocated his shoulder, and also suffered a gash in his calf.

While the two have dealt with injuries throughout their respective 2024 campaigns, their relationship off the slopes seems to be as strong as ever.
